CRIME Rapist Loses Member To Anti-Rape Device; Instant Justice!



Snip:


A New York woman is thanking the makers of an anti-rape device saying that it “saved her from being raped and brutally assaulted.” Michelle Kingston says she was walking home from work in the afternoon on Sunday when a man jumped out of a side alley and grabbed her.
“I couldn’t scream, it happened so quick. He put his hand over my mouth and threatened me with a knife. I stayed calm and complied knowing he was about to get the karma he deserved.”

I had my suspicions. I don't like hurting people but, as a rape survivor, I would definitely wear this, if it exists.

I wish we lived in a world where people took issues like this more seriously, both in dealing with the culture that produces it, and how our justice system treats the survivors and perpetrators.

see this:

It was a patient who prompted me to pursue such a response early in my career. Late one night in 1969, I was tending to a woman who had just survived an attack when she left me with words I would never forget.

Shaking in terror with tears running down her face, she said:

“If only I had teeth down there.”


So apparently the device has a basis in reality but the story does not.
